Le Bon Marche

The property is located in a great part of Paris. Lots of restaurants, sidewalk cafes etc. The apartments are roomy, if a bit sparse. There was a heatwave in Paris when we stayed there (40 deg.) and this building has no air conditioning! There was AC in the breakfast room but it was locked up at 10 am. After 4 nights they relented and left the door open so guests could cool down before going to their own oven (I mean apts.) There was a rickety fan blowing on the bed. I had to ask for more towels halfway through the week. There is a beautiful roof top patio that we loved to sit at in the evening. Unfortunately, it was locked up at 10 pm. The staff didn't seem to understand how their clients were experiencing this horrendous tropical weather. The breakfast offered was practically non existent. They had nothing left after 8 am, not even a croissant and they cut off the coffee machine at 9 am so it could be cleaned. They appeared to be short staffed. They still charged full price for the breakfast. I feel if the weather had been normal June weather we would have enjoyed the apartment so much better. We could have had breakfast somewhere else. It was just too hot to walk any distance. Most of the staff were very nice. I believe the heat was affecting them too. At the end of the day it was Paris! Amazing city.

Wonderful hotel: lovely decor, attentive staff, quiet room, great location. We like to stay in the 16th away from tourists yet a short walk to Arc de Triumph, Trocadero, etc

Great stay overall!
